Psychotherapy

Highly experienced, BACP Accredited Counsellor in Harlow, on the Essex and Hertfordshire border, convenient to neighbouring Epping, Bishops Stortford, Hertford, Ware and surrounding areas. Or UK wide online. I have worked with clients within the NHS, charitable and private sectors, helping them to address and resolve difficult areas in their lives.

As an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP), I work within the BACP’s Code of Ethics, and am also an EMDR advanced trained practitioner.


Offering confidential short-term or longer-term counselling therapy on-line via Skype to any location in the UK. I work with most personal issues or difficulties........ Including:-

• Anxiety • Depression • Anger • Anger Management • Sexual Abuse • Physical Abuse • Self Harm • Stress • Bereavement • Relationships • Personal Growth & Development • Sexual Identity/Sexuality • Loneliness • Work Problems • Bullying • Low Self-Esteem • Self Confidence • Lack of Motivation • Self Identity , and all deep-seated difficulties that may possibly have their roots in years past.


This is certainly not an exhaustive list, many people come for counselling simply because they cannot quite work out what the problem is, they just know something is not working well in their lives.

Talking is the key. Hearing oneself speak is a very important part of getting to know oneself, deepening the primary relationship – the one with ourselves.
Being heard and being witnessed is also a very important element in the healing process. Creating a safe, confidential space in which this process can be housed. I will invite you to tell your story, your sense of how you got where you are today, what you are feeling and what you don’t want to be feeling.

I will help you heal through relating, which means that I bring myself into the therapeutic relationship with you, making use of body and mind connections to explore the presenting complex issues, and sharing my responses, thoughts and feelings with you.

Are you feeling that you’re not living life to the full?
Does your head feel full of worries and constant thoughts that lead to you to not feeling good enough?
Do find you lack confidence in yourself and feel worthless?
Are you fed up with trying to please other people rather than yourself?
Are you feeling that you’ll never find a successful relationship.
Do you find yourself in repeating patterns of behaviour that stop you moving forward and having the life you want.?
Things you just can’t seem to change on your own? Does this leave you feel isolated and alone?
All these struggles can result in a life where anxiety and depression can take over and day to day life can feel too hard. Often resulting in coping mechanisms that just make things harder, or you might find you’re struggling to manage each day.
If you identify with any of these situations, then therapy can be something that can really help.
This is where I can help, in therapy I can work with you to find ways to overcome the issues that prevent you from living a life, the life you want and deserve. Talking therapy allows you to work through things at a comfortable pace and learn new skills to manage and overcome problems.
Clients tell me that having therapy has helped them to make so many positive changes in their lives, from improving their relationships with themselves and others, overcoming destructive behaviours, such as using drugs and alcohol to numb painful feelings and discovering a newfound confidence to really live life the way they want.
About Me
So far in my journey as a therapist I have amassed over 6 thousand hours of working with clients both at the Mental health charity Mind, a private drug and alcohol rehab and my own busy private practice, this means I have a wealth of experience and knowledge in working with both individuals and couples, helping them to overcome many different issues and discovering a new path forward. My own life experiences from being a military child who went to boarding school, a mother, experiencing difficult relationships, having many different jobs until I found my passion of being a therapist, supporting a family member with addiction and mental health struggles, also allows me to bring my own life experiences and knowledge.
Couples
Are you looking for help with your relationship? Are you finding that you’re not feeling heard or understood by your partner?
I work with couples and people who are looking for help with their relationships. Helping people to communicate their needs and desires in an effective way to enable them to have the relationship that they truly want.
When we fail to communicate effectively in our relationships it results in ruptures, conflict, and unhappiness.
Relationships can be affected by so many factors, infidelities, addiction, bereavement, children, work stresses and many more daily events that cause friction between two people.
Bringing these issues to therapy allows couples to navigate their problems and learn new ways to resolve the conflict, reignite intimacy and become close again.

Qualified and experienced BACP Registered and Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist working in private practice for many years. I work with both individuals and couples.
